Becoming a god in a low-key way in the supernatural world

Thinking about it carefully, it's really not feasible to leave such a young girl alone at home for two months. Putting aside a normal life, she would probably die of boredom.

He took out his phone again, swiped his finger across the screen, and dialed Qingkong's number.

The sounds of cooking and a cat meowing came through the phone. Youjia's voice came from the phone: "What's wrong? Qingkong is busy and doesn't have time to answer the phone."

"Here's the thing, I'm at the door of Manager Amamiya's house right now. It seems she went back to her hometown for a blind date, and she'll be gone for two months. Now only her daughter is left here. How about we let her stay at our house for a while?" He gave Amamiya Sachiko a reason for going back to her hometown for a blind date.

"Huh? Store Manager Amamiya went back to her hometown for a blind date? And for two months? Why is she gone for so long?" Yuka's voice was full of surprise.

A very dissatisfied meow rang out.

Qingkong turned off the gas, walked over from the kitchen, and asked, "Did the manager go back to his hometown?"

"Yes, Kotegawa said so. He also asked if we should let Kazuki come and stay. She probably can't stay at home alone, right? She's only five years old... It's strange, why didn't the shopkeeper take Kazuki with him when he went back to his hometown?"

Kotegawa explained in a timely manner: "It's because school is about to start, so they're probably worried about disrupting her studies."

“Xiaoyue is still in kindergarten!” Yujia said speechlessly, “Well, never mind, let’s not talk about that for now. Maybe the store manager left in too much of a hurry… Ask Xiaoyue if she’d like to come over. We can talk about the rest after we call the store manager.”

After hanging up the phone, he looked down at Xiaoyue and said, "Go pack your luggage. I'll wait for you here."

Amamiya and Tsuki went into the house without looking back. After a series of clattering noises, she came out with her schoolbag on her back and a suitcase almost as big as herself in her hand. She turned around and slammed the door shut, exhaling and saying, "All done! Let's go!"

Kotegawa casually took her suitcase, and they walked together toward the elevator.

After leaving the apartment, he hailed a taxi and headed home. As they passed the shopping street, Xiaoyue, who had been peering out the window at the scenery, suddenly asked, "What should we do with the store's employees? Should they also take a two-month break?"

"Otherwise what?" Kotegawa replied casually.

"What will everyone eat? Where will they stay? Everyone should be back by now, right? But things happened so suddenly..." Amamiya Kazuki looked at him blankly.

Kotegawa retorted irritably, "We don't run a hotel, we don't have that many rooms!"

One or two is fine, but considering our usual friendship, we'll help out if we can.

But if a whole bunch of them came at once, and they were all monsters, who could stand it?

Chapter 75 I Have the Sora Cat Girl Game (Part 2)

When Kotegawa returned home with the kitten, it was lunchtime.

Qingkong and Xiaomao are very familiar with each other. They have been friends for almost three and a half years, ever since she started working at the coffee shop.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you a lot during this time." Amamiya Kazuki quickly glanced at the big white cat on the sofa, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply.

Although she looks like a five-year-old child, she is actually not that young. She knows when she can be willful and when she should be polite.

"Thank you for taking good care of me, Manager. Please feel free to stay here for the next few days." Qingkong tried to keep her voice down as she looked at her and asked, "What happened to the Manager? I can't get through to her on the phone."

"She...she suddenly went back to her hometown for a blind date! She just left this morning! Yeah, that's it!" the kitten blurted out. "She...she's also being harassed by a really annoying guy, and she's probably figuring out how to get away from him right now!"

The big white cat lying on the sofa almost fainted from anger.

"So you really went home for a blind date, huh? This year is really special. First it was Ms. Senko, and now it's the store manager..." Yuka muttered to herself, looking at Kotegawa: "The store manager might be busy right now. I'll call him this afternoon."

Qingkong nodded and led the kitten toward the bathroom: "Come wash your hands here. After you wash your hands, we'll eat first, and then we'll tidy up the room this afternoon."

Kotegawa placed the large box he was carrying against the wall, sat down on the sofa in the living room, stroked the cat's head with his right hand, and said casually, "When I went to your house, I met a burly man wearing a black trench coat and a baseball cap."

The big white cat's ears immediately stood up, and it let out a low growl.

Kotegawa looked at it and continued, "You may know, or you may not, that guy has eaten people."

The big white cat's bright blue eyes widened instantly.

Kotegawa leaned close to its ear and whispered, "So I killed it."

"Meow~"

The sudden addition of a cat and a person to the household did not significantly impact the lives of the Kotegawa family.

After lunch, the kitten secretly hid a plate of shrimp and a bowl of rice. When Qingkong and Youjia weren't paying attention, the kitten went upstairs with the big white cat whose stomach was rumbling and quietly fed it.

Kotegawa, who was in the living room, took a sip of tea and said to Seiko, "The cat seems to prefer cooked food. From now on, we'll cook the shrimp before feeding it to it."

"Cooked food?" Qingkong hesitated. "I know, so cats like cooked food..."

Yuka came out of her bedroom, carrying a bag in her hand: "Furutegawa, when you come to my house later, could you please take these things home for me?"

"Okay." Kotegawa was about to deliver the fruit he had brought from home and the souvenirs he had bought from Heian-kyo when he took the bag and glanced down at it: "What's this?"

"Just give the old clothes you don't wear to my mom."

Kotegawa said "Oh," picked up another bag, went out the door, and strolled towards the shopping street as if taking a walk.

When he passed by Takanashi's house, he ran into Takanashi again. Takanashi seemed to have just finished eating, was holding a camera, waved to him, and ran to his house.

Judging from the scene, it's obvious they're going to take pictures of their cats.

Back then, that camera was used to photograph him.

Kotegawa's feelings were slightly complicated. After leaving the residential area, he walked through most of the commercial street and arrived at the front of the wagashi (Japanese sweets) shop.

He lifted the curtain and went inside, immediately spotting Uncle Guima making bean paste.

"Uncle Guima, Happy New Year."

Uncle Gui Ma laughed heartily: "Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"

Taniguchi placed a box and a bag on the table and said, "These are New Year's gifts from my hometown. Uncle Kenji said you and Aunt Xia are welcome to visit him sometime."

"Well, once these two little rascals graduate from university and find jobs, your Aunt Xia and I will be able to take more time off." Uncle Guima chuckled again, "Just kidding, Youjia hasn't caused you any trouble over there, has she?"

"No, no, she's been a great help to us with a lot of things at home." Kotekawa looked around the house and continued, "Yuka asked me to bring back a bag of old clothes, saying that I could just give it to Aunt Xia."

"Old clothes?" Uncle Guima raised an eyebrow. "That brat... your Aunt Xia went to the hospital for a check-up and won't be back until this afternoon. Just put the bag in the living room... By the way, Kong Tai is home. That kid's been having a lot of bad luck lately. Go check on him."

"It's been a while since I've seen him."

Kotegawa walked through the front hall, entered the living room, casually put the bag on the sofa, and went upstairs, calling out from afar, "Glasses-kun?"

Sorata rummaged through the door, his hair a little messy, and he had dark circles under his eyes.

"Furutegawa, Happy New Year."

Kotegawa looked at him, who seemed to have been awake for three days and three nights, and asked thoughtfully, "Is this a new look?"

"Well, I was watching anime last night and ended up staying up all night." Glasses-kun covered his mouth and yawned, then came out in his pajamas and said, "Have a seat for a bit, I'm going downstairs to wash my face."

Kotegawa nodded and went into his room.

Glasses Guy's small bedroom was as simple as ever, quite clean, and had a faint jasmine scent.

He walked to the desk and looked down at a photo album that was spread out on the table.

The photos above are all of Glasses-kun and Ogasawara-senpai, taken at various places including the Tokyo Skytree, amusement parks, shrines, temples, and beaches.

"No wonder I haven't seen him lately." He sighed slightly, then his gaze suddenly shifted as he noticed a small, transparent plastic box under the photo album. Inside the box seemed to be an anime DVD, with two adorable cat-eared girls drawn on the front.

He looked at the line of text above and read it softly: "Nekopara? A catgirl-themed anime?"

Glasses-kun returned with a towel, having finished washing up. He dried his wet hair with both hands and winked, saying, "Feels good to be home, doesn't it? Uncle Kenji and Aunt Akiha are especially pleased with Mikazuki, aren't they?"

“That’s definitely true.” Kotegawa sat in his computer chair, pointed to the photo album and said, “You must have had a pretty good time lately.”

"Well, I was quite happy at first, but if not... oh well." Glasses-kun sighed halfway through his sentence, shook his head, and looked miserable: "But it's also my fault, I can't help but want to get closer to Ogasawa-senpai."

That's how it is during the honeymoon phase, Kotekawa smiled and said nothing.

They chatted about recent events and whether Takanashi would go abroad to study. By the time Kotegawa got up to leave, two hours had passed.

"Oh, right..."

Before leaving, he pointed to the DVD he had just seen on the table and asked, "Is this anime called Chocolate good?"

Glasses-kun glanced over instinctively, and when he saw what it was, his expression instantly turned strange, revealing the lewd look he always showed when talking about Black Scream: "This isn't an anime, it's a game disc... Black Scream Maid Catgirl, full marks!"

“Games? Forget it then.” Kotegawa shook his head. “I’m not a big fan of games.”

He does have game consoles at home, including all the mainstream ones on the market. He often plays with Jiaqingkong and Xiaoganyu, and he occasionally watches as a spectator.

"Hey! It's called a game, but it's mostly CG, so you can watch it like anime." The bespectacled guy handed him the game disc, saying happily, "Kotegawa, you'll definitely like Kurosaki after watching it."

Unable to refuse such hospitality, Kotegawa nodded and put the item in his pocket.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Always Catching Us Off Guard (Part Two)

After chatting with Glasses-kun for a long time, Kotegawa was in a good mood and went home.

The last afternoon of the holiday was very leisurely. Yujia and Qingkong were forced to take a long vacation because "the store manager went back to his hometown for a blind date". Now they were sitting in front of the TV, playing a level-based game with a controller. Takanashi was also free today and was hugging the big white cat, gently stroking it while watching the game.

The kitten Amamiya and Tsuki were clearly very interested in the game, sitting cross-legged behind Yuuka with their eyes wide open.

Kotegawa is eating beef, freshly pan-fried, dipped in sauce, one bite at a time.

After Youjia and Qingkong finished a game, before the next game started, Youjia suddenly got up, ran over in a few steps, snatched his chopsticks, picked up two pieces of beef and stuffed them into her mouth, handed the chopsticks back to him, and ran back with her cheeks bulging.

He continued eating his own food, having long since become accustomed to it.

More than an hour later, Qingkong put down the controller, stretched, stood up, rubbed his eyes, and said, "That's about it, time to prepare dinner."

Yuka stretched and lay down on the blanket behind her. Looking at Takanashi, who was still petting the cat, she reached out her hand and said, "Let me pet the cat too."

"Go wash your hands first." Takanashi rolled his eyes.

The big white cat was lying comfortably with its eyes half-closed, looking sleepy.

It was already quite dark outside; it was January, still the coldest time of the year.

Takanashi Hanamai glanced at the time, then stood up, supporting herself on the floor, and turned to say, "Well, it's about time. I should go home too. See you tomorrow morning."

Kotegawa nodded and tentatively asked, "When will they give us a response?"

"Before spring break ends," Takanashi waved goodbye, grabbed his camera, and headed home.

Yujia chased after her: "Hana-wu, remember to send the cat's picture to the group chat!"

Inside the room, Kotegawa leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling. After a long while, he sighed and said, "It's unbearable."

He could never become a god before the end of spring break.
